And as usual you follow with a post to try and prove how right you and only you can be.

The fact you quoted yourself three times...lmao dude you are stroking yourself just to prove what? I don’t give a shit, I made a post and you clearly can’t let it sit because again you are a prick

GDP lost 32.9%. I was told I am not good at math so can someone tell me if that means the economy is soaring?

You weren't told you're not good at math, you proved it.

I'll go with a 99% chance that 1.) you have no idea why what you posted is factually wrong and 2.) you have no idea why.

While this isn't as absurd as your previous work, it's highly misleading. It looks incredibly bad to run it as a headline, so of course that's what we're going to see right now. There are tons of different reasons why that 32.9% shouldn't be thrown about, but the 1 reason why it should (make the president look bad) is why it's going to be out there.

I didn’t prove anything either way. I admitted I had it wrong but you didn’t read that. I also told you I was distracted and didn’t move decimals so there’s that too. But again you are so full of yourself and self important that you will always be a prick

You failed multiple times and you formed a freaked out opinion based on your failed math. Me being a prick, full of myself, or whatever deflection you want to throw my way doesn't change what YOU did.

Again the statement is the same. I made a mistake that I admitted. You claim I didn’t.

You can again make your bullshit long posts all you want. The fact that a quarter loss of 32.9% (record for that short of period) is what it is but since you are right. You already knew that

Solid, quick thread. Thanks media and those who fall for it.

It's almost freaking me out, to see how freaked out people are getting over some of this stuff. That thread is a classic example.

I had a personal situation this afternoon with my wife that had me really heated. I've mentioned it before, but she's an LSW, and all for social support and loving people. So of course, her circle of friends are quite liberal as well. We'd already decided that we were sending our kids back to school and this afternoon she told me that she's reconsidering it. She said that "all of the people she's talked to" are doing the online option. So I had her list every person that she's talked to. I had her tell me why they were going online, if they had a reason. She left the house and was taking my oldest to the doc for a physical, so for the next hour, I completely bombarded her messenger with raw data. % of cases, hospitalizations, ICU cases, deaths... all by age... for the US, for Ohio. I simplified it and showed her for every 1 case, hospital, ICU, and death, how many people there are (easy way to see your ration/likelihood). She's tracked pretty well with the data throughout, due to how close I've been to it. But when she brought that up to me this afternoon, I was sooooo disappointed.

I may have misunderstood what Reign posted about the GDP. But wasn't it actually 10% and they are projecting to be 32% at the current rate at the end of the year? But I probably misunderstood that whole post

I followed with a reply to George because he suggested he couldn't figure it out.

I have no idea what you're talking about in terms of quoting myself 3 times. When you say "I made a post and you clearly can't let it sit," what are you referring to? If it's your post about 32.9%, I responded because you post came off as you trying to be witty, when it was really just misleading. If you're referring to the reference to your shitty math, you're the one that brought up your knack for sucking at math, not me. So point that finger at yourself.

You said you've been told... you didn't say "I'm known to fuck up."

I'm sorry if the length of the post that is explaining a complicated metric pisses you off somehow. You and everyone else are more than welcome to pass over it, counter it, or actually gain some kind of knowledge out of it.

If my post helped 1 person understand how GDP is stated and how that 32.9% is calculated, then that's a success.

I've really done my best to not come at you personally, but it's getting really hard at this point.

[ReignOnU]

I don't want to be accused of peddling long-winded, self absorbed posts, so I'll just quote this article from Yahoo Finance directly, even though the author does a piss-poor job of explaining the potential trend for the rest of the year.

Did the GDP really fall by 32.9% from April to June?
It’s a little more complicated than that. In the U.S., GDP is reported as an annualized rate, as mentioned above — and this phrase is doing a lot of lifting here. Because the GDP is a measure of value produced over a year, when the percent change is reported each quarter, it’s a forecast of what the growth or shrink would be if this quarterly rate persisted for the whole year. It’s not exactly multiplying the quarterly rate by four, because there are other factors involved, but that’s an easy way of roughly visualizing what the annualized rate is. Doing this can be useful for comparing changes in the GDP over a longer time frame — when there isn’t an extremely unusual event shaking up the economy.

I’m done with you. I won’t respond to any of your posts since I’m clearly not to your level of all knowing. Obviously you cannot be wrong, again not sure why anyone would need to reply to you, you have it all explained. Keep doing you, live your mightier than thou life

[GeorgesGoons]

Now that made sense

Yahoo poat

You not responding is better for you than it is for me, so smart move on your part.

I've said it many times, if I'm wrong, I'll own it. I do my best to vet information and if I'm not sure, I'll open say that I'm not sure. One of the most important things you can do is be honest about what you don't know.

Since I post so much and so many long-winded things, it should create a tremendous amount of opportunities for me to be wrong. But instead of providing a valid argument, you've spent the last few weeks in a constant state of hate.

(Fuck it, it's late, let's just go personal... )
I still post here because I enjoy the banter, I've grown to know a lot about many of the guys here over the years and I wish the best for all of them, regardless of their political leanings. If Corey was traveling in the area, needed something and called/texted me, I'd be right there to help him, no questions asked. He and I tend to disagree on quite a bit. That same thought goes for anyone... likely even to you.

However, there comes a time when something needs to be said... Frankly, you're a miserable, whiny bitch. Exponential Eeyore. Dealing with you is like dealing with my 5 and 8 year old daughters... if they didn't have any common sense. You spew random bullshit, thinking that you're being witty and when your punk card gets pulled, instead of nutting up and making your point, you belly flop on the floor and kick and scream. You didn't get your way? Cry. Someone got you in the feels? Boo hoo. Then, when the whining gets too much, you turn to deflection, hate, and lashing out. You are symbolic of what many believe the far left stands for. When there was talk of the pussification of America a few years ago, you could have been the poster-child. You see, it's not about being a 'man' or some other 'machismo,' it's about having any bit of integrity or fortitude to have a position and hold it. You, like a lot of the vocal minority, love to spout bullshit, but when you're in a position to present your side with a valid argument, you curl up in the fetal position and scream some outlandish shit like "racism," "you're entitled," "you're an elitist." No bitch, I'm just using my fucking brain to form a factually backed opinion.

That quote down in my sig... it's there as a constant reminder that you have the emotional control of a toddler. It's going to stay there until it's not representative of who you are. You don't like it? Figure out how to get your head out of your ass and use your own brain to formulate an intelligent thought.

I fully understand that if someone doesn't agree with your thoughts, then they are Satan/Hitler/Trump, all rolled into one. One of these days you'll grow up and recognize the value of you looking at information objectively and allowing that information to help sway your preconceived thoughts.

So let me be perfectly clear... regardless of what you do, I will continue to call your bullshit, bullshit. You can be the one that chooses to learn a little and open your mind, or you can "not respond." (we both know that even if you somehow manage not to respond directly, you'll reference it in another way) See, this is another point where we differ greatly. One of these days you're going to post something or say something that actually makes an inkling of sense. When that day comes and I reflect on it, I've got the integrity to acknowledge that. (In fact, it wouldn't shock me if I've done that already)

I've paused a few times typing this, because this is the kind of conversation that I've had to have with very few people... I genuinely feel somewhat bad for going in on you like this... but there comes a time when someone has to pull you aside and be honest. You can choose to brush it off as high and mighty, roll your eyes like a smartass kid, or pretend you didn't read it at all, because it's long-winded and self absorbed. Of course there's another option, which would be the first step to proving that the sig doesn't belong.

Didn’t read any of it good job

What is the fundamental difference between Absentee voting vs Mail-in voting? Washington State has 100% Mail-in voting since 2011 I believe and Kim Wyman (R) has been very open to the successes of the states process and security.

Will the election be delayed?!?

Election should 100% not be delayed as we stand right now. I love mail in voting, I know not very republican of me. But I can see with how charged the political atmosphere is right now there could be some very small pockets of tampering invalid votes getting counted. Look at how bad the election (or primary) is being handled right now in New York. No postage stamp saying when the vote was mailed in is a prime example of how there could be some tampering in a close election. With how inefficient our government works as a whole does anyone really think mail in voting will be successful in municipalities that normally doesn't have this option?

Do they have drop boxes? I never mail mine and drop it at city hall

[GeorgesGoons]

Do they have drop boxes? I never mail mine and drop it at city hall

Colorado they had drop boxes. For Nebraska primary it was mail in

Had to look, are they postage paid? Ours are

[cougnix]

But still, what is the fundamental difference between Absentee vs Mail-in? There seems to be a Trump contention that they are different and Absentee are good and Mail- in at bad?
